The City of Homewood is poised to hire its first permanent city manager, taking the first step by approving a resolution offering the position to Acting City Manager Cale Smith.

Monday night, the Homewood City Council voted to appoint the former long-time Mountain Brook City Manager, Sam Gaston, as the Special Assistant to the City Manager.

With six open mayoral seats and six incumbents defeated, major changes are expected in Jefferson County this week when most of the new mayors are sworn in on November 3.

City Councilwoman Jennifer Andress handily won Homewood's mayoral election with 71% of the vote.

The Homewood mayor’s race features City Councilwoman Jennifer Andress running against former educator and perennial candidate Robin Litaker. The two offered different perspectives on the state of the city and what is needed as it moves forward, as discussed at the WBRC 6 candidate forum held on Tuesday.
